It is with great sadness.......
It is with great sadness that I announce the loss of long time member and club advocate Tom Larkin, who passed away on March 4. Tom kept coming to races even after his sons racing days, and was always interested in the sport. He will be missed at the corner for trail help. The club expresses it's deepest sympathy to Connie and family.......
FOUNDERS DAY Race is ON for Sunday Nov. 23, 2008!!!

FLUORESCENT ORANGE IS THE COLOR OF THE SEASON.....
Just a reminder..... all participants and spectators, must wear orange when attending the events in Arcadia Manangement area. This is a Rhode Island Law, AND a good idea. Let's make sure everyone is safe. For those of you who may have extra orange, please bring some for people who may show up to watch the races.
I think the snow is about to fall...
Welcome back!!! Now's the time to start evaluating dogs and equipment for the upcoming season. The club has been contacted regarding some dogs that are available. Ben Thomas has some good dogs, of all ages/sizes/and colors. Tom Kowalcky knows of a dog that needs a home, He is Black and White (Becki take note). Contact the club for more info.
